Pay by Direct Debit
Paying by direct debit is the easiest and most secure way of paying your council tax bill. You can choose to pay on the 1st, 15th or 30th of each month, over 10 or 12 instalments dependant on the number of months remaining in the financial year.
To apply for a Direct Debit you will need to create or log in to a Staffordshire Moorlands online account. If you don't have one already, click the button below and register. If you already have an account with us you can also log in here.
Once you've registered for an account, go to the 'Submit a request' tab and search for the Council Tax Direct Debit form. Once you have completed this, you will be able to view your bills online.
Changing your direct debit
If you need to change your instalment dates or payment frequency, you can submit a 'Direct Debit Change' form from within your online account.
If you need to change your bank account details you will need to complete a new 'Council Tax - Direct Debit' form.
